... You claim to be using devoper builds of "in-development" software ...

No, I don't think Apple really cares, but they Do state that their beta software is only for use by developers. In the few instances where they have released "public" Betas (I can think of only two), they made it quite clear that it was "use at your own risk".

[...]I search high and low and couldn't find any want to fix it so I just completely removed[...]

By searched high and low, you mean searching right past the Store->Update iTunes Match option?

You don't constantly need that option viewable in your sidebar, and it's easily accessible through the menus. You can even just click on Help and type "itunes match" and it will take you straight to it.

I concur with King, this software isn't a friendly public beta, this is dev software. That doesn't mean no one is going to help you, but it does mean there is an expectation of problem solving ability, and you did kinda fail this time. But then again, that's how you learn for next time.

As far as your original question, deleting the cloud listings doesn't appear to be an option yet. We'll see in future releases.

Why don't you tell us how you managed to do it? Oh... you didn't? The dude asked a simple question that I am sure a lot of people are wondering. I also would imagine you paid apple $99 to become a developer too didn't you? Funny how anyone can be one if they pay $99 and download some software.... if you actually were a developer, you'd know that Apple hasn't initiated many parts of the music match service, they're limiting it to the core parts for the first roll out and you'd be able to have said that to the guy asking the question. Instead, you have no idea what you're talking about, you had NO answer to his question.

Developer or not, it might prove good info for everyone in a few weeks.

for an example I will give details.

I had the album 21 by Adele in my iTunes library.. However, it was not properly tagged. Ie, i had 13 tracks instead of 11, 2 of them were named Rolling in the deep and Rumor has it. (do not ask why, but a smart person will understand)

Since i needed to get rid of 2 bad tracks i found the 2 bad tracks and used the Show Info right click option to show the details. I renamed everything inside the tag as "Unknown"

then via the Store menu, i resynced my library and viola, all was right.

Right click, choose delete, tick the "also delete this song from iCloud" box.

The problem with the above suggestion is that it will also delete the track listing within iTunes itself, along with all the metadata (playlists, playcount, last played date, etc.) You're throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Some folks will want to delete the song from the cloud, but keep the local song. And deleting from iTunes to re-add it later means you'll lose metadata.

A better way to go about this, I've found, is this:

Consider turning off iTunes Match while you do this procedure. Quit iTunes.

Hold down the OPTION key while re-launching iTunes. A dialog will appear. Create a brand new library, call it whatever you want ("iTunes TEMP" should do.) Then turn on iTunes Match for this library. It will then download the whole index of songs that have been sent to the cloud (via matching, uploading, or because you've purchased them) in this new library you've created. Then you can simply select all of these tracks, hit delete -- and it will delete these songs from iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match is now empty. Then turn off iTunes Match , and quit iTunes.

Hold down the OPTION key while launching iTunes... and this time, select your original iTunes library.

(After you've determined that all is well, you can safely delete that other "iTunes TEMP" folder.)

Note that if/when you turn iTunes Match back on, it will rescan your library and will likely upload new copies of the songs you previously matched/uploaded and then deleted from the cloud.

So I have been trying to find an answer to this for a couple weeks, thanks for all who replied, it was helpful!

My situation is a little different...

I am trying to disable a specific computer from iTunes match. I would like to delete all the songs that it uploaded to the cloud as well. The reason being, it almost mirrors my home computer exactly. The only thing that I dont like is that it has now added all these songs with 4 letter codes as the song name such as "XCDY" The reason it shows those is because I uploaded all the music from my iPod to my computer and imported those songs into iTunes. I think that is Apple's punishment for uploading music from their device because we all know they don't want us doing it.

Most of the XCDY songs are in fact duplicates, so now they are showing on my home computer and my iPhone. I know I should have left well enough alone and not activated Match on my work computer, but sadly I get a little "tech-excited" and dont think things through.

So my question is: can you delete an entire (secondary) iTunes library from Match without it affecting your main music source (my home computer for instance) I know that you can disable a computer from your iTunes account but I dont know if that will remove all the songs from Match. It would be great to be able to log in to your Match account to manage it!

I have all my music backed up to an external drive but i would rather not have to re-import because it screws up all my playlists.
